JOURNEY OF THE WILD PROJECT

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the initiative of the John Muir Trust in arranging the 2006 Journey of the Wild, an epic adventure through some of the wildest places in the country; recognises that the aim of the initiative is to raise awareness of wild places for people and nature; notes that the journey will cover 2,500 miles during five months in the summer of 2006, with routes from the north, south, east and west culminating in a celebration at Ben Nevis; and hopes that this initiative will stimulate further interest and lead to greater protection for the UK's wild places.
